Rest Awhile 01:39
I got rid of my jackets and coats I threw out all of my pants I got sick of my stinking clothes I had to get rid of them I'm not yet considering replacing them I'm only glad to be rid of them and Rest awhile Rest awhile I lay out in the sun too long And burned off all of my skin I felt so dizzy I got into the car And got into an accident Out of the burning wreckage I fell Wanting only to lay where I fell and Rest awhile Rest awhile Rest awhile I became friendly with Ruy López The author of works on chess "Ruy," I said, "you're incorrect" He cut me off and acted mad He won't even talk to me now but I don't care 'Cause I'm sick of that guy and I need to Rest awhile Rest awhile Rest awhile Rest awhile

I've been working hard Trying to sing and play guitar Growing out my hair And practicing my stare Paid to fake it In a traveling band And I'm working undercover for the man Sha la la la la Sha la la la la la Planning midnight raids On our unsuspecting fans While the roadies rig The video surveillance van Paid to fake it In a traveling band And I'm working undercover for the man Sha la la la la Sha la la la la la Sha la la la la Sha la la la la la I've been working hard Practicing to sing and play guitar Growing out my hair And working on my stare Paid to fake it In a traveling band And I'm working undercover for the man Sha la la la la Sha la la la la la Sha la la la la Sha la la la la la

I'm a human head And my best friend is also a head I don't really need my best friend Now my friend is gone And I'm only a head by myself I find I don't need my whole head Now I'm just the top of a head Just the scalp and a hair I don't like the scalp, just the hair What do I really need? Best friend, also a head Just the head, just the scalp Hair Friend, no Head, no Scalp, no Hair I am only one human hair With no scalp for a home All I need's the top of a head Now all I am is just a scalp I don't have any head I'd be glad if I had a head Now I have a head look at me I'm a fine floating head Where is my friend, the other head?

On The Drag 02:16
"I won't die until I'm dead" Were the first words that he said Don't try to interrupt him 'Cause he's never gonna stop And the sun is standing still With all this time to kill And I'm trying to walk away From 1st Avenue to A On the drag On the drag We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back On the drag On the drag He's the genuine disaster and he's come to make his case On the drag You're only happy when you're sad You're top-fueled and you're bad Your parachute in your backpack And your knees under your chin And your boyfriend's getting mad With all this time you waste Trying to put the finger on it The allure of St. Mark's Place On the drag On the drag We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back On the drag On the drag He's the genuine disaster and we crowned him with his crown On the drag On the drag On the drag We're all waiting 'round for something and it's never coming back On the drag On the drag He's the genuine disaster and he's come to make his case On the drag On the drag On the drag
